dumpdir Command dumpdir
Print the directory of a dump
dumpdir [af [argument ...] ]
dumpdir reads through a file system dump created by the dump com-
mand, gathers up its directory blocks, and displays the names and
i-numbers of all files on the dump.
The a option causes dumpdir to display the directory entries for
`.' and `..', which are normally suppressed.
The f option causes the next argument to be taken as the pathname
of the dump device, which is otherwise assumed to be /dev/dump.
If no options are specified, dumpdir reads from the default dump
device /dev/dump and suppresses the printing of `.' and `..'
entries.

The dump/restore format puts a header at the beginning of the
dump that includes all the information about what lives where in
the dump. dumpdir reads this header to discover what files are
in the dump. If the header is too large to fit onto one disk,
dumpdir will then prompt you to insert the additional disk or
disks; if this happens, insert the requested disk and then type
<return>.
